Earlier today, we posted about an Curriculum Vitae of an animator, who accidentally left Grand Theft Auto: V as one of his involved projects, leaking the release date of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title.
The CV was recently pulled, but there was no word from RockStar Games nor Mr. O’Dwyer. It could've been pulled by RockStar Games, but that doesn't necessarily mean the release date was real.
I feel that the title won't be released in October, for a few reasons. For one, most of RockStar's releases for this generation have been during spring. Table Tennis, GTA4, Red Dead, LA Noire, and now Max Payne have all been released in Spring.
With BioShock Infinite being released this October, it's not likely that Take-Two Interactive would want to launch GTA 5 in the same month.

The head of AI at Take-Two says his time with the company has reportedly 'come to an end.'
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.
this speculations are so stupid
we had 529752875378 speculations when will gta5 come oout
do we need another one???
I'd say odd's are it releases this year. Based on the trailer the game looked pretty far along... so October sounds likely to me, gives MP3 space and plenty of time to market with trailers. As if GTA really needs marketing look at view count compared to GTA IV trailer. Sweet, sweet install base.

There's not enough PR to indicate a 2012 release date. There would have at least been a 2nd trailer already.
Rockstar games always release in spring. GTA IV, Red dead redemption, LA Noire all released in spring.
so what if bioshock is released during the same time, if anything, GTA5 would hurt 2k sales much more
rockstars typical release peroid would suggest a 2012 release, all other GTAs in october would suggest that
